I need some help. I need the opinions of the folks who hang out on our local websites about a serious issue.

Today, Sept. 9, 2010, our inmate list hit 94 names. I had to send 10 inmates to the Texas County Jail because Phelps and Miller were BOTH FULL and could not take them. In the last nine years and up until June of this year we have spent just over three million dollars to house our inmates out of this county. I see this as a serious problem.

I would like to float a serious “trial issue” to our readers. The figures will not be exact but they will not be too far off the mark. What I need are your opinions on this trial issue.

The issue is a proposal to pass a ½ cent sales tax for the purpose of buying land, building and equipping a new jail to federal requirements, somewhere around the 140/160 inmate housing mark, along with a new Justice Center. At the end of a 9 year period (maybe 8 but no more than 10 years) roll the tax back to ¼ cent to maintain and staff and supply the jail. The ¼ cent level should remain in effect for at least 8-10 years before it might have to be revisited. The proposed ½ cent tax to be quickly enacted (in 2011) so that by the middle of the year 2014 we would be looking at opening a new jail.

As I said a quick and dirty, more or less accurate plan, just as a TRIAL ISSUE TO STIR UP OUR LOCAL DEBATE so I will have some idea of moving forward or backing off.
